A not less desirable person for the posi
tion of railroad commissioner's Hon.

PROFIT IN GARDENS.
The profits of fruit raising has been
' a subject of much dUctitiioit by the
newspapers as well as by the people
of the Willamette Valley during the
past two or three years, and a lively
interest, particularly in She growing. of
prunes, is being taken in every part of
the valley during the present season.
From a careful estimate it can safely
be-said that nearly 800 acres of prunes
and other fruit have been planted in
this county alone during this fall and
winter, and there is no question that
every tract of land thus planted, if
properly handled, will, in a few years,
be a very profitable source of revenue
to its owner.-
But fruit, cereals, and hops are not
the only sources of revenue fronm the
soil in Benton county. The land is
rich and a good living can be made
on a very small tract by planting it in
vegetables. For example, Peter Schir
mer, a German who owns two and a
ha'f acres of land? one mile south of
Mill 4, on Yaquina bay, was in Cor
vallis last week and the following is an
itemized statement of the result of the
past season's labor on his little garden.
The prices given are what the produce
would bring in the Corvallis market.
At these figures his total earnings from
two and a half acres would be some
thing over $600. The list:
Two hundred bushels potatoes at 65c,
$130; 120 bu. rutabagas at 50o, $00; 100
bu carrots at 50c, $50; 2500 lbs cabbage at
lc, $25; 20 bu turnips at 50c, 10; 10 bu
cabbag8 turnips at 50c, $5; 60 bu onions at
$1.50, $90; 15 bu beets at 75c $10; 8 bu
parsnips at 50a, $1; 15 bu string beans at
SI, $15; 50 bu sugar beets, about $15;- 6 bu
peas, $5; 10 bu sweet corn at $1, $10; 1J
tons hay. $25; 125 bunches celery, $10;
strawberries, $33 85; 7 doz. chickens, $21;
avenge of 8J doz. eggs per week,, at 20o,
$38.40 for the year;
Total amount of entire crop, $613.15,
beside vegetables, berries-and eggs for
use of family, which would amount to
something.
DIed. At his residence in this city,
January 11, 1891, John Sylvester, aged
76 years and 9 months. Mr. Sylvester
came to Oregon in 1845, and was one
of the oldest and most respected pio
neers in the state. He was a man of
fair business qualifications, was chari
table and very much esteemed by his
acquaintances. He had been twice
married, but no children had blessed
either union, and his fondness for
those of other persons seemed thereby
to be increased. He possessed a kind
ly heart. His devotion to children
was marked, and the little ones of his
acquaintance were more than deeply
grieved at the loss- of their devoted
friend. Mr. Sylvester spent a useful
life. Hs had filled the measure of
obligation to his fellow man, and while
he seemed to enjoy life up to the time
of his brief illness, he met death- calm
ly, in a conscious state of mind, with
the fall conviction that he had earned
the reward which awaits the just. The
funeral services were held at the Pres
byterian church. Tho remains were
then conveyed to the Locke cemetery,
whither they were followed by a sol
emn concourse.
Burglary. Keep your windows
and doors fastened and don't leave any
loose change around the houses Cor
vallis has been fortunate in escaping
the work of theives and burglars this
winter,' but last Tuesday night the
record was broken. On that night the
residence of Mrs. Thomas Samuels
in the southern part of the city was
entered through the kitchen window.
The thief, after hunting around the
kitchen mid pantry, found a purse con
taining $.17.50. After helping. himself
to $15 he left, and as yet no clue to the
euiltv partv lias been discovered. The
same evening a suspicious looking
character called at the resideuce of E
Allen while all of the family exceptjit
tle Johnny were absent, and his actions
showed he frWfc no good-intent in call
ing at that time of the night- An at
tempt was also made to break into the
Presbyterian parsonage and tlie resi
dence of E. H. Taylor the same -night.
Start to day. The river is now 17
inches- above low water mark- at- Cor
vallis. The date upon which-naviga
tion, to Corvallij, ceased, was the 26th
clay of hist July, the Three Sisters ar
riving and the steamer Champion de
parting. This is probably the longest
period in -the history of boating on the
Willamette that beats have not
run above Salem; The Oregon
Pacific steamers mj ML Hoag and
Three Sisters will start on their regular
trips plying between .Portland and
Corvallis this (Friday) morning:- lue
popular captains Geo. Raabe and VV.
P. Short are in charge of the Hoag
and the Sisters, respectively.
Financial Embarrassment. The
Announcement on Monday that J. A.
Ganthornj doing an extensive ware
house business in this count', had
made an assignment, was received with
surprise and regret by all Mr. Cau
thorn is held in high esteem in this
community on account of his social'
qualities aud his integrity, and the out
come of his embarrassment will only
serve to strengthen the confidence
which has hertofore been imposed in
his character. Mr- Cauthorn's assets;
will cover his liabilities,, and his- many
friends are hopeful that he will soon
again become esfabfishad in business
here.
Interesting Suit- An injunction
suit has been brought by John Bur
nett against the county judge and com
missioners, also the county treasurer
enjoining them from the payment of
two county warrants issued in favor of
Markley & Dunstan, aggregating the
sum of $7,200 and over, for services
rendered. It is alleged that the whole
transaction was- unconstitutional and
that said sura was more than the work
performed was worth and the county
commissioners had-no right to enter in
to such contract under the present laws
of the state. This suit will be watched
with much interest by the people of
this county.
Annual Meeting. The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Willamette Valley and State Land and
Loan Co. was held in their office in
this city on Monday afternoon; at
which was elected a board of directors -composed
of F. M. Johnson, G. R.
Farra, J. B. Lee, J. R. Bryson, of
this city, and G. W. McBride, E; Bi
McElroy, and F. C. Baker, of Salem.
On Tuesday F. M. Johnson- was chos
en president; J. B. Lee, E. B. McEl
roy and G. AV. McBride, vice presi
dents; B.W.Johnson, secretary, and
Z. Job, treasurer. This company was
organized a year ago- and the high
standing of the stockholders and offi
cers at once won for the organization
the public confidence, and it gave
promise of doing' a large amount of
business. Considerable land was read
ily bonded by the company, but the
real estate market has not been so
active as was anticipated and the pre
viously estim ited profits have been
correspondingly docreasedj The com
pany, however, have a number of large
deals almost consummated which, if
completed, will place it on a solid finan
cial basis. The names associated with
this company are a sufficient guarantee
of its stability and of its purpose to
deal honorably with its patrons. The
officers of the company feel confident
that it will enjoy a- large .measure of
prosperity the coming season.
The Oregon favorite in the prize
ring, Jack Dempsey, was knocked' out
in the loth round in the great prize
fight which took place at New Orleans,
Wednesday, between the "Nonpareil"
and Robert Fitzsimmons, of New-
Zealand, for the championship of Aus
tralia and America, and a purse of
$ 1 2.O00-;

If You Had a Friend

Stomach Bitters, known throughout malaria

tructive influence. Not oidy does it fortify
the system by increasing its stamina, but
overthrows irregularity of digusuon, the

unfavorable effects of over exertion, Ixiduy
and mental exposure in rough weather, or
occupation too sedentary or laborious, loss
of appetite and excessive nervousness. The
functions of alimentation, billions secretion

reliable auxiliary.
